High loads or long travel XY may need a linear guide for added support Other: • Remind customers about the built-in controllers/drivers and the daisy-chaining capabilities of our devices • Ask about the applicationPowerPoint Presentation: Sold & Serviced By: ELECTROMATE Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98 Toll Free Fax (877) SERV099 Powering Zaber Devices www.electromate.com sales@electromate.com • When power is daisy-chained, it is recommended that a power supply is used for every 3 to 4 devices. If too many devices are connected, some devices may not get enough current or enough voltage and will not function. • Plug power supplies to the middle of a chain, rather than the end, to prevent excessive voltage drop. • Zaber devices requiring over 16V can not daisy-chain power. • High voltage devices can be identified by a three-pin connector in place of a cylindrical power jack. • A PMF3 adaptor will be supplied with all high voltage devices not purchased as part of a kit.PowerPoint Presentation: Sold & Serviced By: ELECTROMATE Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98 Toll Free Fax (877) SERV099 Zaber Product Overview www.electromate.com sales@electromate.com This is an overview of Zaber ’s most popular products.

We will also reorganize the website to have all the vacuum devices under one section (TSB-V1 and T-MM-V1).PowerPoint Presentation: Sold & Serviced By: ELECTROMATE Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98 Toll Free Fax (877) SERV099 www.electromate.com sales@electromate.com Common Support IssuesPowerPoint Presentation: Sold & Serviced By: ELECTROMATE Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98 Toll Free Fax (877) SERV099 Troubleshooting Guide www.electromate.com sales@electromate.com Symptom After the device finishes a move command, it starts moving again on its own. Device starts turning as soon as the power is on or amber LED blinks all the time Nothing happens when I turn the potentiometer knob either way. Nothing happens when I send a move instruction. When I try to move the device it just makes a noise and vibrates. Stall condition: The device makes noise but does not move. There is no communication between the computer and my Zaber device, the amber light does not come on or flash. Check The potentiometer knob is probably not centered. Make sure the knob is set to the middle position. You can feel a slight detent in the middle of its rotation. The potentiometer is probably not centered. Turn the knob slowly until you feel the center detent. Manual control may have been disabled. Issue the Restore Settings Instruction (command 36) or enable the potentiometer using the Set Device Mode Instruction (command 40). The device needs to be "homed" first. You must issue the Home Instruction (command 1) after power up to home the device. There may be too much load that the device is trying to push. The actuator stalls in this situation. Try removing the load and see if the problem goes away. You can achieve higher thrust or torque by lowering the speed of the device using the Set Target Speed Instruction (command 42). Try removing all external loads. If the device now extends and retracts normally, the problem is excessive load. Try to reduce the load or change step time and acceleration parameters to ensure the load is less than the maximum thrust. If a linear motion device is stalled in its fully extended position and remains stalled without any external load applied it means the lead screw has been over extended and is stuck. You can usually get the lead screw unstuck by pushing on it after issuing the home command. If a device is stalled (with no external load) in a position that is not fully extended then it requires servicing. There are several things you should check: http://www.zaber.com/wiki/T-Series/TroubleshootingPowerPoint Presentation: Sold & Serviced By: ELECTROMATE Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98 Toll Free Fax (877) SERV099 Future Products www.electromate.com sales@electromate.com • Full line of devices with built-in rotary encoders • More vacuum-compatible products • T-LST dust cover version • TSB stages with manual micrometer knobs • Compact mirror mount (tip/tilt) • Belt driven stage - higher speed and longer travelPowerPoint Presentation: Sold & Serviced By: ELECTROMATE Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98 Toll Free Fax (877) SERV099 Conclusion We are here to offer you the support that you need to sell more Zaber products.
